The CIT(A) erred in calculating LTCG and made addition of Rs.1,20,91,700/-. 8. The CIT(A) erred in ignoring the provisions of Section 47 (xiiia). As per the said section any exchange of a capital asset being membership right held of a recognised stock exchange for acquisition of shares of stock exchange will not attract Section 45 as it does not amounts to transfer.

So, in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble High Court in the case of Kotak Securities Ltd.
